This Amendment No. 1 (Amendment No. 1) amends the Schedule 13D filed on April 25, 2022 (the Original Schedule 13D and, as amended, the Schedule 13D), and relates to common stock, par value $1.00 per share (Common Stock), of Sylvamo Corporation (the Issuer), having its principal executive offices at 6077 Primacy Parkway, Memphis, Tennessee 38119. The Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

On February 14, 2023 (the Effective Date), the Issuer and certain of the Reporting Persons (collectively, the Atlas Group) entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the Cooperation Agreement) regarding the membership and composition of the Issuers board of directors (the Board) and related matters.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to, among other things, (1) appoint Karl Meyers and Mark Wilde (each, a New Director) as directors of the Issuer, effective March 1, 2023, (2) cause one of the New Directors to be appointed to two standing committees of the Board and the other New Director to be appointed to one standing committee of the Board, effective upon their appointment to the Board, provided that, at least one of the New Directors will be appointed to the Management Development and Compensation Committee and at least one of the New Directors will be appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and (3) include the New Directors in the Issuers slate of nominees for the election of directors at the Issuers 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the Annual Meeting) and recommend that the Issuers stockholders vote in favor of their election at the Annual Meeting.

The Cooperation Agreement further provides that:

if the Atlas Groups ownership level falls below 10% of the Issuers then issued and outstanding voting securities, one New Director (as designated by the Atlas Group) will immediately resign, and if the Atlas Groups ownership level falls below 5% of the Issuers then issued and outstanding voting securities, the remaining New Director will immediately resign (such that neither New Director will continue to serve on the Board in that case); and

in the event that any New Director is no longer able or willing to serve, or resigns, as a director of the Issuer, the Atlas Group will be permitted to propose a replacement director, provided that the Atlas Group will lose the foregoing replacement rights with respect to one of the two New Directors if its ownership level is less than 10% of the Issuers then issued and outstanding voting securities and will lose the foregoing replacement rights with respect to both of the two New Directors if its ownership level is less than 5% of the Issuers then issued and outstanding voting securities.

The Cooperation Agreement includes certain voting commitments, standstill obligations and restrictions on transfer on the part of the Atlas Group and mutual non-disparagement provisions that generally remain in place until the later of: (1) December 31, 2023 or 30 days prior to the director nomination deadline under the Issuers bylaws for the Issuers 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (whichever date is earlier), and (2) five business days after no New Director (or any replacement) is serving on the Board, subject to certain exceptions as further described in the Cooperation Agreement.

In addition, the Issuer has agreed to file within 30 days of the Effective Date a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to permit the Atlas Group to sell shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Atlas Group, subject to the limitations set forth in the Cooperation Agreement. In connection therewith, the Atlas Group and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement with respect to certain indemnification and other matters relating to the shelf registration statement.

The foregoing description of the Cooperation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cooperation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On February 14, 2023, certain of the Reporting Persons and the Issuer entered into the Cooperation Agreement as defined and described in Item 4 above and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 hereto. Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

99.2 Cooperation Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2023
